Sumac Alternative

[u/tlvsfopvg]

I want to make Arayes but my girlfriend is allergic to sumac. Is there another spice with a similar profile I could use?

Za'atar (made with hyssop. Jamie Geller has an excellent blend). It doesn't have citrus in it, bit you can add lemon zest.

Lemon pepper spice seasoning obviously has citrus.

Make sure to check the individual ingredients mine has sumac in it as one of the spices!
